You can check out the Makeup Talk Video thread and do a search on "Cat Eye."

I know there are a few good vids on there than can give you some great ideas.

Good luck!

 
I only have one piece of advice, if you are right handed, do your left eye first...and if you are left handed, do your right eye first. I noticed that my hand and arm block my view of my right eye when I am doing my left, so it's hard to get them to match if you can't even see what you did on the first eye. It's not good if your flicks are crooked or one is bigger or longer than the other. You want the length, width, and angle to match on both eyes.
